Pretty disappointed by the lineup tbh :< I was thinking of planning my Japan trip around that time when this was first mentioned, but for a supposed "matina memorial event" the bands they got are super lackluster. Did Kisaki-sama lose all of his good will with bandomen and as a result was only able to pull together a measly 1 band to have a 1-day revival? (Not counting Vasalla since they they've been semi active for the past couple years)

Amazing Kouki will apear in this! <3 Mist of Rouge for evaaaaaaaa <3

Kra's appearance at the event has been cancelled apparently "due to the organizer's discretion"...

New poster revealing that Dear Loving have filled Kra's spot on the event.

Additionally, the band Sclaim will open up for the event. 

 

 

It is also revealed something new will be released at the event (likely to be live-limited).

It looks like MIRAGE are recording new material! 

[Mamo 1172]

No fuckin' way! 😂

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

inb4 an 8 minute long and boring kisaki ballad.

 

 

plz release something along the style of moon-light-dance or anything that early mirage did.

 

or just something actual kotekote-ish

 

PLEASE

[evenor 1655]

Thank god that Akira is doing the vocals! 

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

I would personally prefer TOMO but he's never coming back so I guess Akira is ok. 

[seikun 317]

Recording new material?

 

Is there room for old school VK sound these days?

That's my concern.

do groups like la'veil mizeria and crucifixion count?

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

I mean there's technically been a small "bring back 90's vkei"-trend going on for the past 2-3 years so... I'm sure they'd have people to gig with if they wanted to.

Yes and I love those bands, but I wonder how well do old school VK sounding bands do today.

 

 

[Lestat 2167]

I think they finished a new track with a duration of eight minutes. It is yet unclear how many tracks the new release will have, but hopefully more than just the one. 

[seikun 317]

I am not paticularly a fan of MIRAGE as I am of other of Kisaki's bands, but I do hope they do well and can refresh the Visual Kei scene today.

"support guitarist A.O.I (SHAZNA)" - just wow! this was... unexpected!
